Despite several health benefits of coffee, the presence of various contaminations can potentially make it harmful. Employing rapid and precise analytical methods is crucial to guarantee the safety of coffee and to detect any detrimental contaminations that might pose a risk to human health. Although substantial advancements in analytical methodologies led to the development of many sensing platforms in the analysis of coffee safety, some limitations can restrict their application. Interestingly, recent progress in biosensor technology presents a high potential detection approach for addressing limitations of conventional methods. Especially, the progress of nanotechnology introduces several nanomaterials with specific properties that can be used in the structure of biosensors. This review aims to explore the latest development of biosensors in the analysis of coffee safety based on detection of chemical pollutants including mycotoxins, heavy metals, and processing chemicals. In addition, the importance of different nanomaterials and biological elements is discussed for introducing high performance biosensing. The commercial feasibility of developed biosensors is investigated for quantification of contamination in coffee.
